[DL] Rope Curve Blender Geometry Nodes
🕑 Added 2024-06-02 14:02:15 +0000 UTCAdvanced Tier Asset Downloads
This is a Geometry Nodes setup to easily create textured ropes or other textured tubes in Blender from any curve.
Instructions:
- Append the Nodetree to your project.
- Create a curve and increase the resolution in curve settings.
- Add the geometry node modifier to the curve and tweak the settings to your liking.
- Use the "Material Tilt" setting to rotate the textures.
- Be mindful of the "Merge Distance" setting. It can be used to merge the ends of the curve shape together. Especially useful for cyclic curves.
- Enjoy your Rope without any texture misalignment, twisting or stretching issues.
Notes:
For Blender 4.1+
I made this setup to mitigate all the issues I faced with using normal bevel geometry. The endcaps are really nice, too. As a first time user of geometry nodes, there may be bugs. Please report any issues.
You still have to make the curves yourself. The loop knots in the demo file were made by billhails on Blend Swap. They have a CC0 license, so they are free to use.
Textures from ambientCG.
